As I didn't get a chance to get out on the bike yesterday myself and fellow blogger Michael decided to go from Blackrock to Passage West along the old railway line. This was the longest cycle I've done all week, it took just over and hour and we traveled 17.22km in total. Even though it was a long cycle it was very enjoyable, it is a paved track so it is very easy to cycle and it is flat all the way except for the footbridge over her South Link Road where there is a slight climb but nothing too difficult and there are plenty of seats along the route if you do get tired and need a break or just want to take in the view.
This is a very popular route with cyclists, runners, pet owners and families so it can be quite busy especially in the evenings. Also along the route there are outdoor exercise stations which is great way to incorporate different kinds of exercise into your cycle.
This was my first time really exploring areas outside of the Cork City, having the bike and access to the old railway line made it so much easier to explore and see new areas. There are also informational signs and plaques along the route for anyone that would like to know more about the history of the railway line.
It is a lovely route and I would highly recommend it!
